I’m a local here (about 10 minutes away from downtown Wheeling) and the amount of traffic this light show brings is honestly astounding. We went on a Saturday night (don’t do that btw unless you want 3 hours of traffic) and the amount of out of state license plates we saw was honestly impressive for a small metro like Wheeling.
My daughter has her family tradition. Every year the day after Thanksgiving they go see the lights and she buys the new bulb for that year for their tree. Thanks for sharing. Have a Merry Christmas
Beautiful Christmas video, Wallie! We’re glad you made it to Olgebay to film the special Christmas lights for the 40th anniversary! Beautiful giant Christmas tree with the 40 on a star!
That is some amazing Christmas light display. Love that wild big tree and that beautiful nativity scene. And all the different Christians tunes to go along with it all. Glad you were able to make it up there for they're 40th anniversary, awesome 👍
🎉❄️ Wallie, l wait all year to see this.....Thank you my dear friend. I have watched you for Years.... Thanks for a great 2024. May the adventures continue in 2025.🤠 Cajun greetings from Biloxi Mississippi 🧔👋
thank you wallie for doing this I’ve always wanted to go as a local and never have gotten to till this day as I do not drive and though I had family who been there I have not! it was nice to have gotten to go there through you that really means the world to me! with all the stress and worries of these days it’s nice to forget about it all as you are taken in by the lights! again thank you
I was hoping you would do this, I am SO glad you were able to go as well, many thanks to your friends for helping out to make this video possible, also can you believe it is 5 days until Christmas? I can’t believe how fast things have gone, Hope you have a very merry Christmas too! Lastly I love the nativity scene at the end, they did a really nice job with it.
I was there for my first time three years ago. I have to get back. This year with seemingly Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas feeling like they were a week a part no time to really plan anything. Thanks for sharing. Happy you were able to make it again!
I love your RUclips Channel. I love your Christmas videos, Wallie! The Oglebay Festival of Lights are beautiful!! FYI, when you make the donation at the booth, it's a one time donation ,because when you make the donation, the person in the booth, gives you a sign that resembles a parking permit that you hang on your rear view mirror, so that way you can make repeated visits to Oglebay Festival of Lights as many times as you wish. Wallie, I wish you a safe and Merry Christmas! I'm spending Christmas Eve with great friends of mine. I wish you all the best. As always, Alan. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow !! Thank You Wally !! I haven't been to Olglebay in a very long time always wanted to get back but never have so far. I'm from North Hills Pgh PA. Love Love your videos soo much ! Love the Presque Isle Erie videos too😊
Of all the different Christmas light displays that I have seen on my holiday travels, Wheeling's, by far, has been the best. I escorted a few bus trips and also just sat back and enjoyed one or two and, like I said, have enjoyed Wheeling's the most. You did a wonderful job of the Oglebay Park area. (Does the town still present lights as well? I was always surprised how well Wheeling area was represented in lights.) Just beautifully lit up. It's worth a trip to see it. Thank you so much for the video.
Nice tour wallie, glad things came together for you to make it there his year.. I too go every year.. and the family loves it as well.. Merry Christmas 🎅
Tennis or Pickle Ball ,lol 🥒🎾😹 I know you love Texas. Maybe you could go to Orange,Tx. And see the Shangri La Botanical Garden Christmas Stroll. It's just off of I 10 on Highway 87 ( 16th Street )
I'm a long time subscriber I thought evidently I got unsubscribed somehow so I'm resubscribing now. Everybody who watches his videos please make sure you are still subscribed, And share them with your friends I'd like to see him get that 100000 subscriber button. Thanks for taking the time and driving through these lights like shows at Christmas time because a lot of people really can't get out and do it thank you very much.👍🙌
Wow this was or would have been the longest 49 mins and 41 secs of my life. I just couldn’t make it through this horrible view of a Christmas lights display. Have any of you ever seen a real good display of Christmas lights? Just search Christmas light display on YT or Google. I’m sorry. This just isn’t one.
Wow. To be honest, Oglebay is known around the world as *the greatest* Christmas light display ever created, so it's impossible to find a greater lighting display on google: simply impossible! Merry Christmas! 😄
@@SlippinnnJimmyWOW you’ve lived a VERY sheltered or rather very hindered life. Omgosh I don’t know what else to say if you think this is a world wide great display of Christmas lights. Wow 😂😂😂
@@tommiejj9082 Wow! Not at all! I've traveled the entire world as the premier expert on Christmas lights: every square inch of it, and all people from every part of the world declared quite clearly that Oglebay presents *the greatest* Christmas light displays *ever created.* It is, in fact, entirely impossible to find a greater Christmas light display on google. Wow! Merry Christmas!
@tommiejj9082 Wow! Not at all. I am, in fact, the premiere expert on Christmas light displays, having traveled every square inch of the world. The message from all people encountered throughout the world: Oglebay features *the greatest* Christmas light displays anywhere, in all of time. No greater display can be found on google. Wow! Merry Christmas! 😄
I have to agree. No disrespect to Wallie, but I will never go there again. Went twice and both times the traffic was longer than 3 hrs. When we finally reached the entrance, we had a angry cop rushing us through. Cars were going both ways throughout and locals on the main roads were ignorant ( understandably). The shop that sells merchandise is ridiculously expensive.

how many lights displays are there in this amazing Christmas lights display?
Hi Wallie ✌️
Dude, it's like you and my Grandma frequent the same spots. SHE'S SINGLE!
Hi good job. ❤😂😢😮😅
Did you see the lights at the WV state fairgrounds? I heard it was amazing.
Have you ever been to Louisville KY underneath the cave of lights? Supposed to be awesome?
Add dragon is cool 5:45

Hi Wallie. How was the traffic?? The last time we went the traffic to get in was lined up on the highway
There was no traffic! I went one Monday night. Best time to go is during the weekdays.
